A Model for Selecting the Most Cost-Effective Pressure Control Device for More Sustainable Water Supply Networks
Fernández García, I.; Novara, Daniele; McNabola, Aonghus (MDPI, 2019)Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) have been widely used as a device to control pressure at nodes in water distribution networks and thus reduce leakages. However, an energy dissipation takes place during PRV operation. Thus, ... -
An economic and environmental optimization model for sizing a hybrid renewable energy and battery storage system in off-grid farms
Mérida García, Aida; Gallagher, John; Rodríguez-Díaz, Juan Antonio; McNabola, Aonghus (Elsevier, 2024)This paper presents a model for optimizing the life cycle economic and environmental impacts of a hybrid renewable energy and battery storage system – as energy supply technologies (EST) for off-grid farms. Micro-hydropower ... -
Energy Recovery Potential in Industrial and Municipal Wastewater Networks Using Micro-Hydropower in Spain
Mérida García, Aida; Rodríguez-Díaz, Juan Antonio; García Morillo, J.; McNabola, Aonghus (MDPI, 2021)The use of micro-hydropower (MHP) for energy recovery in water distribution networks is becoming increasingly widespread. The incorporation of this technology, which offers low-cost solutions, allows for the reduction of ... -
Energy Saving Measures in Pressurized Irrigation Networks: A New Challenge for Power Generation
García Morillo, J.; Rodríguez-Díaz, Juan Antonio; Crespo Chacón, Miguel; McNabola, Aonghus (MDPI, 2018)In Spain and other countries, open channel distribution networks have been replaced by on demand-pressurized networks to improve the water-use efficiency of the water distribution systems, but at the same time the energy ... -
Multi-Country Scale Assessment of Available Energy Recovery Potential Using Micro-Hydropower in Drinking, Pressurised Irrigation and Wastewater Networks, Covering Part of the EU
Mitrovic, Djordje; Crespo Chacón, Miguel; Mérida García, Aida; García Morillo, J.; Rodríguez Diaz, Juan Antonio; Ramos, Helena M.; Adeyeye, Kemi; Carravetta, Armando; McNabola, Aonghus (MDPI, 2021)Studies have shown micro-hydropower (MHP) opportunities for energy recovery and CO2 reductions in the water sector.
